Ecommerce Template downloads
This is where you can find a range of downloads for your existing Ecommerce Template store. If you are not currently using Ecommerce Templates then you might want to check out our shopping cart software for Dreamweaver, Frontpage, CSS and Golive layouts as well as our design your own Generic version.
We've started off here with the User Manual, a range of buy and checkout buttons, custom payment provider integration as well as files to update your admin if you want to use UK counties or Australian / Canadian etc. provinces instead of the US State defaults. We hope to be adding more language files shortly - but check back as we plan to make this a regular feature of our store. If you have any suggestions for stuff you'd like to see here, please get in touch.
Contents
- User Manual
- Spry tabbed panels
- HTML editor files
- Extra buy and checkout buttons
- Extra product rating icons
- Regional language files
- Custom payment providers
- Database utility script
User Manual
Consisting of nine chapters we've compiled a downloadable user manual - you can either view the content online by selecting the "Open PDF File" icon or download the PDF file by selecting "Download ZIP file" for printing and viewing offline. If you have just purchased the software, you will need the User Manual Version 6.1.
Spry Tabbed Panels (Version 5.8.0 minimum required)
The dynamic spry tabs allow you to add dynamic content to the product detail page by showing off your product descriptions in tabbed content that you users can access as they choose. You will need to follow the set up instructions here after downloading one of the following files.
HTML editor files
The HTML editor is a wysiwyg interface used in the control panel to simplify the HTML formatting of product descriptions, email messaging, content management system etc. The FCK Editor has a lot more features, and we recommend using that over TinyMCE.
To enable the FCK Editor you will need this addition to includes.asp
htmleditor="fckeditor"
and for the PHP version in includes.php
$htmleditor="fckeditor";
To enable the TinyMCE Editor you will need this addition to includes.asp
htmleditor="tinymce"
and for the PHP version in includes.php
$htmleditor="tinymce";
Unzip the contents of the zip file and then upload the contents of the vsadmin folder from the download to the vsadmin folder on your server. After uploading the files and folders as well as making the addition to the includes file you should be presented with the HTML editor for the long and short product descriptions. More information regarding the product admin page is available here.
If you require the full version with full source code for the TinyMCE Editor, they can be obtained directly from Source Forge
Buy and checkout graphics
All the stores come with "buy" and "checkout" buttons but we thought you'd like to have more to choose from. You can download 10 sets here, they are in .gif and .png format. Here's a small selection of what you get:
Product review icons
The product rating feature comes with default graphics called reviewcart.gif, reviewcarthg and reviewcartg.gif for the full image, half image and dimmed image. These should be placed in your main images folder. You can make your own but we have provided you with some here that you can use if you prefer. These are just a sample of what's available in the zip file.
In version 5.6.0 we added the ability to show ratings on the products page with a link to the full reviews on the product details page. The graphics here are smaller and called sreviewcart.gif, sreviewcarthg and sreviewcartg.gif for the full image, half image and dimmed image. These should also be placed in your main images folder.
Country specific files
By default the Ecommerce Plus shopping cart software comes in English with all the US states listed for checking out but we also have language and regional files for other countries. All you need to do is place the languagefile.asp or languagefile.php in your vsadmin/inc directory and place the updatestore.asp/updatestore.php script in the root of your store, open it in your browser and click the button. Make sure your download corresponds to your Ecommerce Plus version - ASP for Windows servers / PHP for Unix or Linux servers.
Please note that the Anglo language regional update will swap the default USA States for Australian Provinces, Canadian Provinces, Irish Counties, New Zealand Provinces, South African Provinces, UK Counties or integrated US States + Canadian Provinces. It also contains instructions on how to change USA specific text such as Zip Code to that of your local region. The French update will swap the US States for French Departements or French Canadian Provinces if required and also contains a French language file to change your store text to French.
Please read the notes here for those updating their store from a previous version and how to include changes in the language file
Custom payment processors
Using our custom payment provider option in the Payment Providers Admin page you can hook up with the companies listed below. You can also use a second "email type" set up that allows you to distinguish between manual payment methods.
Database utlity script
We have created a script that will update your database product and / or category ordering. You can set your product ordering by product name, id, sales quantity price and so on. Probably the most interesting of these is the ordering by sales quantity so you can put your best selling products first.
You can set the category ordering alphabetically ascending and descending which can be useful for those that have many categories and don't want to set the ordering manually.
You can also use this script to split the name in the orders and customer address table into first name and last name or to combine the first name and last name into a full name. This is for use in conjunction with the asp parameter / php parameter
The PHP edit country names utility will allow you to edit the names of the countries that appear in your admin and checkout.
Once you have finished with the script, make sure you delete it from your site.
